Package: libnl1 Version: 1.1-5 Severity: important Tags: patch upstream libnl has an unfortunate bug in its release_local_socket function that means that if you frequently open/close nl sockets, it will often fail on the third socket you use, after it has been closed once. This is due to a buggy calculation, releasing the third socket (which is number 2, since it's zero-based), will clear the allocation for both the first and second socket, so that another attempt to use the third socket fails.
This was fixed upstream in http://git.kernel.org/?p=libs/netlink/libnl.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef8ba32e0ca7ac7bbbaf87f6fd7b197af18aed25 but I'm not aware that a 1.1 release was ever made with this fix included. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-rc2-wl-47282-gdd88a95-dirty (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libnl1 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib libnl1 recommends no packages. libnl1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
